The Chronological History of the Rotunda Hospital
HISTORY OF THE HOSPITAL In 1745 Bartholomew Mosse, surgeon and man-midwife, founded the original Dublin Lying-In Hospital as a maternity training hospital, the first of its kind. In 1757 the institution moved to a different location where it became “The New Lying-In Hospital”. This is the hospital complex that is referred to today as simply “The Rotunda”. The Rotunda Hospital is therefore unique as an institution in that it has continued to provide an unbroken record of service to women and babies since its foundation in 1745 and has occupied its present premises since 1757. Should you wish to learn more about The Rotunda Hospital’s history, the book Masters, Midwives, and Ladies- in-Waiting (edited by Alan Browne, a former Master of the Rotunda, published by A&A Farmar, Dublin, 1995) gives a detailed account of developments in the Rotunda over the period 1945-95, which was the fifty-year period of greatest change in the history of obstetrical care. BARTHOLOMEW MOSSE 1712 Bartholomew Mosse was born the fifth child of Rev Thomas Mosse, Rector of Maryborough, now Portlaoise, and his wife Martha. 1728 Mosse, who had been privately educated by a tutor at home, was sent to serve as apprentice to a Barber Surgeon, Mr John Stone, in Dublin. 1733 Mosse was examined and qualified to practice as a surgeon by Mr John Nichols, joint Surgeon-General to the army in Ireland. Mosse obtained glowing testimonials from his master and his examiner. It is probable that he was surgical assistant to these men (themselves surgeons to Mercer’s and Dr Steevens’s Hospitals respectively) within a short time of his qualification.
